Draynor Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 So did some stuff this weekend...Had some parts and ordered some. New tie rods, ball joints, bump steer spacers, 300lb springs, adjustable LCA's and T/C rods. Still have to put on my bigger swaybar,steering box brace, idler arm bushings and some other little stuff.Did all this at my buddy's apt, then went over to Banners to stitch weld the T/C pockets on. One of the pockets was peeling off the frame rail more than I thought when I crashed last may. Took some time and effort to get it back up close to the rail as close as we could. Also added some gussets to the pockets for re-assurance. Rolled the fenders a little and did some other stuff while it was on the lift.After the alignment, its a new car :D. Very happy with the results. Right now its .5- camber and 1.5* caster. 4 Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Go for at least 3 degrees of caster. You will love 5 if your car will let you do it Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I wanted to go more, but the low and the 60 series tires wouldn't let me. I have some 175/50/13s to put on, Gopefully that helps... Quote Link to comment

Draynor Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 For an update. (I just dug back into my goon as well... Yeah, I've been doing some stuff, just haven't been posting much... Got the driveshaft tunnel cut out, and it still needs more cut :rofl: But after I got it cut out something unexpected happened and I hit a sewer that wasnt there the day before :crying:. Construction caused the sewer to be higher than normal, I jumped it and slammed my oil pan on top. Went to put the new pan on, and it's a 710 pan :hmm:. So took the motor back out and now I am doing some stuff... Plan is to strip the engine bay, stitch weld, seam seal, shave and tuck as much stuff as I can, and paint it. then the new engine can be swapped in :D 5 Quote Link to comment

Draynor Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Back from the dead! Sometimes I just have good timing... Was litterally about to take some stuff into the machine shop in a week or two for the engine build, but something I couldnt pass up was posted on craigslist. A L series Rajay turbo setup! Its going on the wagon! :D 2 Quote Link to comment

Draynor Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Nice... Where's the rest of it? Gonna probably run R1 carbs, and just make a plenum box for them. 1 Quote Link to comment
